in_o your_o natural_a condition_n you_o have_v some_o thing_n which_o you_o call_v your_o gain_n phil._n 3._o 7._o and_o if_o you_o shall_v present_o die_v you_o have_v something_o to_o trust_v unto_o

to_o return_v and_o believe_v but_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o that_o conversion_n can_v be_v at_o all_o without_o it_o as_o therefore_o i_o may_v give_v it_o you_o by_o this_o comparison_n they_o that_o do_v allow_v the_o work_n of_o a_o midwife_n in_o the_o help_a of_o a_o child_n into_o the_o world_n do_v not_o by_o that_o make_v she_o the_o parent_n of_o the_o child_n so_o they_o that_o allow_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o be_v requisite_a to_o help_v man_n to_o conversion_n the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o faith_n do_v not_o thereby_o affirm_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o be_v the_o parent_n the_o worker_n author_n and_o begetter_n of_o this_o grace_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v too_o little_a that_o make_v grace_n only_o a_o assistant_n and_o

whereby_o he_o rise_v so_o to_o grace_n that_o it_o help_v up_o man_n be_v to_o say_v truth_n but_o if_o you_o will_v be_v good_a advocate_n and_o plead_v the_o cause_n of_o god_n grace_n aright_o which_o man_n be_v famous_a for_o in_o former_a time_n when_o it_o be_v disparage_v you_o must_v acknowledge_v prevent_v and_o preoccupate_v grace_n which_o whole_o raise_v the_o dead_a man_n in_o
